ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. LindemannPastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses-7:00 o’clock Tuesday, July 25th, was the Feast of St. Christopher. A High Mass was said at six o’clock. Seven years ago the church of St. Christopher in Speedway City was dedicated , with Father Lindemann as its pastor. During that time the parishioriers have worked with Father Lindemann and, with the help of Almighty God and their friends, have paid off their debt and managed to save a little toward the school which is to be built as soon as possible after the War ends. On the fifth Sunday of the month, no special group receives Holy Communion. During the month of August our meditations are on the Blessed Sacrament. Next Friday is the first Friday of the month. Confessions will be heard on Thursday as usual in preparation for First Friday. At the solicitation of Father Lindemann, the men of the Parish met last Sunday afternoon in the Parish Hall and prepared the award books, in connection with the Lawn Festival, for distribution. The boys distributed these books to all the members of the Parish the first of this week. If you didn’t receive yours, please don’t feel slighted but help Father Lindemann by inquiring of him for yours. It is realized that the time is short in which to solicit donations for the Festival which is to be held AUGUST 24th, 25th and 26th, but with everyone’s full cooperation it cannot fail. Mrs. Herbert Grande, President of the Altar Society, and her Chairmen are very busy these days making plans so that they will be able to offer to their friends at the Lawn Festival the best in the of . food thaMhese times will_permit. Mrs. Al Autbach has sfccepted the Chairmanship of the Variety or Novelty Booth at the Festival. Ladies of St. Christopher don’t forget, those of you who can, to arrange to go to St. Vincent’s Hospital, Monday, August 7th, either from 9 until noon or from 2 until 5 o’clock to aid in ■ making surgical dressings. If you can go, please contact Mrs. Herbert Grande, President of the Altar Society, Mrs. Raymond Vurpillat, Secretary, or Nora Bray, if you have not already done so, so that Mrs. Grande will be assured of having 12 women go in the morning and 12 women go in the afternoon. “The Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and Him only shalt thou serve.”—St. Luke 4:8. nora bray.
